Maybe supply the pressure from a chemical reaction (alka-seltzer and
water; vinegar and soda, mentos and coke, etc.) You won't need the high
pressure if you can renew the pressure while you are driving.


Vernors works better than Coke with Mentos - more carbonation.

Diet is better than "regular" - not as sticky.


Besides, Mentos and Coke is not a chemical reaction. It is a physical
one. It so happens that Mentos have a large surface area that is
exactly the right texture to allow CO2 bubbles to form on it. You could
make a ceramic Mento that would have exactly the same effect as long as
the surface was the same texture as the real Mento. A ceramic Mento
could be used over and over.
